Breaking News: a 75-year-old gets his first shot

95 days after I could have had my Corona jab in Israel, 75 days after I would have been offered one in California, 65 days after I was offered one in London – Frankfurt today had finally given me my first vaccination.  

 

Having already completed a registration form on-line, I was sent some more forms to read and sign and bring with me to the vaccination centre. Here, I had to go through seven stations, each verified and re-verified my QR code, I was asked to confirm the responses I had given in my completed forms, I was asked to confirm that I indeed waived my right to a consultation with a doctor, and... I was given the jab. At the last station, at an hourly rate of €130, a medical doctor signed my vaccination certificate.

 

Post-colonial thinking has long ago taught us not to buy the idea that Europe has a more developed civilisation than other continents. Our vaccination programme is but further proof.

  1. The coorporates that are responsible to provide health services in israel are not always good. But the corvid vaccine project went exceptionaly good.
